Every possible testimony of esteem, reverence and re gret should certainly be shewn to the memory Id the distinguished Character of which the public have so unfortunately been deprived, but the business of life must go on, and the interests of the Nation should not be forgotten in the sym pathies of unavailing sorrow. Yet we may yen. tore to affirm, that no step has been taken by Go vernment in relation to the vacancy so .un happily occasioned. Nor has Sir M. MAxwat.t. himself come act \ ively forward on the occasion. It his friends invite hint, and are determined to sup port !kis interests, he will, we understand, not desert the interests of his Country, but readily obey the summons. We trust, however, that he willnot, by appearing on the Hustings, again 'expose himself to the fury of a rabble instigated by Faction to the perpetration of any miscAef which may tend towards the subversion of Go vernment. It is said that Mr. BROUGHAM means to offer himself for Wesiminster.—The Hvir of the House o f HHollKnd is also mentioned as an intended Can• dilate.—Mr. Serjeaut LENS hat also,• as well as Mr. CROKER, been suggested. It is nut probable, however, that the Seri,ant will stand. Mr. CROKER is not in Parliament, and he is certainly by abilities and attainments well qualified for the situation. It is difficult to-cookcture for what purpose the late infamous report of a dud at Chester was pro pagated. It cannot he con.ider, d as a mere wanton hoax, to adopt the slang of the day. We we're inclined to doubt the truth of it, but we gave it a place, because we could not conceive the folly of inventing a malignant falsehood for the mere purpose of being instantly detec.ed All lies are odious ; but there is somethine, peculiarly shocking in the picture of malice struk!gling with natural imbecility to stammer out au untruth under the idea of being witty. COURT OF CHANCERY —This morning :Wen o'clock, Mr. Justice DALLAS attended the Lotto CHANCELLOR in his private room, to take the oaths preparatory to his etorring on his Heist sp. mp ent of Chief Justice of the Commit' Pleas.

PRIVATE AND AUTHENTIC CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, OCT. 31 —The Independants and the Ultras may now shake hands, or rather sit down and condole together; the signal defeat and litmt- Nation of the former, in the triumph ot M IRRNAUX over Minerva's Prime Minister, M. de CONSTANT, has driven them to distraction. They affect the most sovereign contempt for M. Tea- NAUX. Who is M.TBRNAUX ? Can he write? Can he speak in the House? In what can lie be com pared to M. tie CONSTANT ? To the latter ques tion we readily answer nothing ; he is neither a Political Writer, at so much a sheet, nor • a Gambler, nor a Debanch6e, and what is more, he pays taxes to Government on his own property, and nor on any lent to him by a would-be Politician of a Banker, to enable him to offer himself as Candidate in express violation of the Charter, which exacts, that Deputies should have really some stake in the Country for which they would pretend to legislate. The friends of M. de CONSTANT will perhaps say, with a style of logic very usual with them, why this very fact proves the superiority of M. de CONSTANT'S philanthropy ; any man will de fend his own property, whereas there are but few who have the courage, devotion, and generosity to defend interests in which they have no share. We regret that the improvident conduct of M. de C., who receives eight guineas per sheet for what he writes, prevents his being a legal Candidate— we would wish to see him so ; nay more, we would wish to see him in the Chamber of Depu ties. He is a man of splendid talents, and has a varied, it not a profound knowledge ot politics, and his presence in the Chamber could be ad vantageous to the cause of civil and religious liberty but only to a certain extent, for we may safely predict that M. de C., a writer in the Mi nerva, will be a very different man from M. de C., Member of the Chamber. There may be a sort ot profanation in comparing him to Mr. Fox— but what Mr. F. was out of the Ministry and in it, that will M. de C. be out of the Chamber and in it. At present M. de C. is at the head of the class be belongs to; there is no one to dispute the Throne wi►h him, hut it will not be so in the Chamber ; his principle through life has been aut Cesar ant ;tulles ; such would be fatal to him in the Chamber ; the slightest interruption, the slightest resistance would totally derange his ideas ; evett'in Society be is foiled in discussion by those greatly his inferiors, because he is not ready at a reply; his ideas onts• flow at the rate at which he cats write thew, end not with the rapidity necessary for conversation ; we think the Indepenthints very indiscreet in wishing his Election. He now nobly opposes a barrier to the abuses of arbitrary power ; he denounces the aberrations of authority with effect, and his logic and his eloquence have rendered a signal service, not only in exposing such abuses, but in prevent ing their recurtence ; he is, therefore, now a saln taty cherk on the Ministry, but once in the Chamber, would he continue to be so 2 In 1815, when the hopes of the Allies, strengthened by the commands of Mad. de STAHL, might have made him the champion of Legiti macy, did we not see him turn short round, and, for the Office of Counsellor of State, enlist under the banners of the Usurper ? What can we expect • front si milar causes but similar effects ? Finve eke Ministers no places to give ; Or would they think M. de C. not worth buying ? All things, therefore, considered, we think that M. de C. is of more importance out of the Chamber than in it. He has now the suffrages of the friends of Imola nity-; let him continue to unmask the BLossa vrt.Les, the --, the —, &c., those real ene mies of Gltvernment ; and above all, let him be cautious of • identifying himself with those who pretend to hoist the saute colours with himself ; he possessei stiliral virtue, and his motives, at least, are noble—they are but the dregs of society, which seek its dissolution. GALIGNANt'S Messenger of this morning con tains the account of a trial, which the Editor with the grayest face in the world tells us, was a case of dreadful atrocity, the assassination of a "gen tleman" going to visit his mistress. The Editor's sympathy either arises from fellow feeling or an ignorance of the French language, this gentleman being no other than an old maid's favourite Tom Cat. The translators now, as in the days of Lswror, are sad dogs. The Grand Jury called the attention of the Court at the Old Bailey to the suppression, as r►►uck as possible, of the opening of houses toe the sale of newspapers and other publications on the Lottl's Day ; also of liquor, victualling, and oys. ter•slsops, and various others of en evil tendency, ss hick alarmingly increase in the metropolis, to the great scandal of the owners, and to the Hilly of the morals of the people, bringing into al- tooth total distegatd the Sabbath.
